Although the number of new wildflowers is decreasing, the total number of flowers is increasing every year (assuming flowers aren't dying or otherwise being removed). Every year, 25% of the number of new flowers from the previous year are added.
The sigma notation would be:
∑ (from n=1 to ∞) 4800 * (1/4)ⁿ , where n is the year.
Remember that this notation should give us the sum of all new flowers from year 1 to infinite, and the values of new flowers for each year should match those given in the table for years 1, 2, and 3
This means the total number of flowers equals:
Year 1: 4800 * 1/4 = 1200 ]
+
Year 2: 4800 * (1/4)² = 300
+
Year 3: 4800 * (1/4)³ = 75
+
Year 4: 4800 * (1/4)⁴ = 18.75 = ~19 (we can't have a part of a flower)
+
Year 5: 4800 * (1/4)⁵ = 4.68 = ~ 5
+
Year 6: 4800 * (1/4)⁶ = 1.17 = ~1
And so on. As you can see, it in the years that follow the number of flowers added approaches zero. Thus, we can approximate the infinite sum of new flowers using just Years 1-6:
1200 + 300 + 75 + 19 + 5 + 1 = 1,600
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the figure into a rectangle and a triangle.
area of rectangle = 5×10 = 50 square units
area of triangle = 0.5×5×10 = 25 square units
total area = 50+25 = 75 square units
Answer:
8 and 19
Step-by-step explanation:
To some this, let's first list all the factors of 152. They are;
1, 2, 4, 8, 19, 38, 76, 152.
Now, let's arrange them to reflect being multiplied to get 152.
Thus;
1 × 152 = 152
2 × 76 = 152
4 × 38 = 152
8 × 19 = 152
Also, let's do the same for their sum;
1 + 152 = 153
2 + 76 = 78
4 + 38 = 42
8 + 19 = 27
Looking at the figures above, the ones that their product is 152 but have the least sum are 8 and 19
